Wood and Canvas (and rabbit glue) in the Modern World
29th Nov 2013
The OISTAT Architecture and
Technology Commissions are pleased to announce a conference called�
"Wood and Canvas (and rabbit
glue) in the Modern World"
in Antwerp in June of 2014.� The
theme of the conference is to suggest ideas and methodologies so that old wooden
stage machinery can be put to use in modern theatre productions.� Rather than
seeing this equipment as obsolete and falling completely out of use, we believe
that ways can be found to revive these extremely flexible systems. � All that we
are lacking is creative ideas.� Hence this conference.
Wood and
Canvas will be both Academic and Practical; each day will include
presentations of papers regarding old stage machinery as well as hands-on
experience using wooden stage machinery.
